Off The Wall

Off The Wall

What it works: Hips, hamstrings, glutes, abs, inner & outer thighs

What you'll need: A sturdy wall

How to do it: Put palms flat against the wall at shoulder height, with your arms outstretched. Lift the right knee to hip height and hold for three seconds. Point your knee as far to the right as possible without turning your hips, and hold the position for three seconds. Press your heel back — the right knee will pass the left knee — without tipping your pelvis forward, and hold for three seconds. Repeat eight times. Switch legs and repeat.
